Make Believe

Project info

In "Make Believe," Jonathan Higbee fuses subject and environment together to transform otherwise mundane New York moments into visually complex, mind-bending fantasy worlds. Each image that results leaves the viewer asking "Is this reality? -- a question that looms over all of photography in general.

The series harnesses trompe l'oeil, juxtaposition and the decisive moment to push the limits of our understanding of New York and street photography.
